Age of Empires.

I was listening to some music today and the rhythm reminded me very much of a game I use to play. It was the only game (aside from Mario-Kart) that I ever really got into. I could get lost for hours playings this game! My brothers and I would fight each other or team up together to defeat the enemy. This game to me was like World of Warcraft to the guys up here. It was the best!

I remember playing with my step-mom too. She was always Yellow. Playing with her was so much fun! Trying to teach her the moves and show her the ropes and to watch her jump around in her seat not knowing what to do was the funniest thing. Ahh. Good times. Good times.

In my opinion Age of Empires was a very ...well, I won't go so far as to calling it "Educational", though it did have its share of educational points. For one, it taught the player how to finance their debts. In the game you are allotted a specific amount of money (whether it be gold or silver) and when you ran out you would have to dig for more, or some how earn more. Another thing was that you would have to be in charge of hundreds of people (and sometimes more). You had to make sure they were healthy, working, and all-in-all not being attacked. And the cheats were great! I will never forget the feeling of when your entire village has been destroyed and you have but one player standing and you pull out that last resort -The Car. Oh man, what fun! But I won't bore you further with the details of this game. I just felt like posting about it so that I wouldn't someday forget that it even existed. ...I am such a nerd! Well. Have a nice day!
